About

Cristina Poindexter

I bridge worlds that take some skill to combine — wellness and capital, innovation and humanity, ambition and regenerative systems.

I left Google in 2017 because I could see what AI was going to ask of us, and I wanted to be building at that edge rather than inside it. Since then I've founded four companies, two of them venture-backed in brain and mental health, led partnerships and marketing at Headspace, and supported 20+ founders, VCs, and entrepreneurial leaders as a consultant, coach, and advisor.

By training, I'm a Yale sociologist, entrepreneur, and embodiment practitioner with 20 years of experience.

Today I run Dolce Vita Ventures, a small boutique that helps purpose-driven investors, executive communities, and founders bring new businesses and programs to life.

My work sits at the intersection of human vitality, strategic design, and systems change. I genuinely believe the body is a site of intelligence that most leadership models leave completely untapped.

I navigate my career intuitively and emergently, attuned to what's happening in the world, in culture, within our bodies, and within business.
